I waffled back and forth on pre-ordering the Lionel C&O sd 40s and since I missed the early buy discount I waited and was able to see pictures of the engines posted on here prior to purchasing, I had to act fast as they sold out quick ( I had to send one back for replacement for bad handrail but all was settled nicely by dealer). I also procrastinated about purchasing the Maine Central gp 9s but decided not to get after seeing how "yellow" they were (I like the orangey harvest gold). So d/t the color thing I am afraid to pre-order locomotives. I also am seeing a real risk of not getting what you want as they sell so fast. Tough situation...
